'Create Your Own Wonderland' is the little sister creative companion to my first book, 'Art Adventures With Alice'. However, please note, that you do not have to have one book to enjoy the other.
I always strive to do my best and wanted to create another book that you will love and use to your heart's content. I believe that I have done just that.
'Create Your Own Wonderland' is much much more than a colouring book. However, if that is what you wish it to be, that is what it shall be for you.

How this book works...
On the pages of this book, you are free to use almost any type of medium/art supply that you can imagine.
I have tested out matte acrylic paints, pencil crayons, pastels, embossing powders, india ink, collage, gesso (clear, white & black), watercolours, moulding paste, art stencils & stamps. They all worked fabulously without bleeding through the pages.
Seal your pages with clear gesso or a matte varnish first if you plan to use markers/felt pens, alchohol or oil based products or
experiment with anything else.
NOTE: I have created TEST pages at the back of this book for you to try/swatch your supplies on first to see if they bleed through the paper or not. Better safe than sorry, I say.
Within this book you will also find creativity prompts, along with pages of clipart & Lewis Carroll quotes to cut out & collage with.

Why I created this book...
During many times in our lives, we need an escape of sorts.
We need to step away and have an adventure. Take our minds off the day to day.
Creating art does that for me & I know that it also works for many of you.
We always need to take the time and do what makes us happy, what rejuvenates us, what ‘fills our buckets’,
if you will.
With the help of our beloved ALICE, I am going to take you on a creative journey.
You can scribble, doodle, smear, paint, rub and glitter your way through the rabbit hole and beyond!
Work in any page order that you desire!
My wish is that you take this book with you & let it inspire you on your journey through life.
Write notes on the pages, doodle on the edges.... heck, even cut a few of the pages.
Grab your art supplies & have some fun!
